X | The Theme answers the needs of this large user base by providing a flexible solution that can be used with any kind of website. It is so feature rich, that most users will probably not even use half the features of the theme.

We decided to focus on the main features of the theme which make it unique and so powerful.

Stacks

Stacks are completely unique layouts that you can use to create your own unique design. X theme comes with four stacks and there are more in development. Think of stacks as themes within a theme. They work out of box, but they are also very easy to customize.

Each stack gives you different layout and design choices to begin with. You can adjust all of them to meet your own requirements.

Extensions

X | The Theme comes with another unique feature called extensions. Extensions are plugins made specifically for X Theme. You can download and install them from within your WordPress admin area. Some of the extensions are MailChimp, Olark Live Chat, Disqus comments, Facebook comments, Revolution Slider, Soliloquy, and more.

All the extensions are included in your theme license, which means they are free for X Theme users.

How Easy it is to Setup X | Theme?

Many users believe that more features means more complexity. Many site owners don’t need this many feature, so they might think that X | The Theme is probably not the best choice for them.

We decided to check out how easy it is to setup for users who want to create a beautiful website quickly.

X | The Theme works out of the box. Users can just activate the theme and choose a stack. Now all they need to do is start adding content to their site. Without the content, any theme is just a barebone structure.
